CharlestheHammer posted:A lot of the games look feels like it was rushed out quickly but it pretty clearly wasn’t so I don’t know what’s up with that idk what this means because this is the most visually polished fire emblem has ever been by far the series has generally gone for a more muted style with its character designs though, so this game's bright & bold designs are quite a shift from the norm. some of them are pretty goofy but they're at least endearingly ridiculous. i definitely prefer three houses' character designs but engage looks so much better overall so that's a tradeoff i'm quite happy with

Unlucky7 posted:That reminds me, is Tecmo-Koei co-developing this game this time? I mean, I think 3 Houses visually has its charms, but there is only so much you could do with that crummy engine they use. they're not. the initial leaks that were otherwise accurate claimed that gust were co-developing it this time but there's been no mention of that since so they likely only had a minor role at most if there's any truth to it.

as far as 'anime games' go both genshin and engage are some of the best around in terms of being visually appealing, despite certainly not being technical marvels or anything. there's a similarity in the visual style - a particular cel-shaded look for the characters over stylised landscapes - so i get why it's come up as a comparison point but it's not like it's blatantly ripping it off or anything. the character designs aren't really anything alike though yeah lih fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Jan 9, 2023 |

Eimi posted:I really love Genshin Impact. I also loathe the look and style of Engage. I'm with Endorph in really questioning how people say they are similar. If Engage was like Genshin It would eliminate at least half the reasons I hate it. Genshin's style is comparatively subdued while I'm sure even the fans of Pikazo's style would say she's using the artistic equivalent of all caps when it comes to color. i think engage looks like genshin impact a fair bit but in terms of overall visuals (mostly just the way the character models are rendered and the stylised environment - though as previously noted engage is more saturated overall), not the character designs which are indeed very different. three houses had big technical problems but the environments would have still been pretty ugly even if it had antialiasing and ran well. it really could have used more stylised environments to gel better with the character models (which were fine) instead of the ugly ps3-game realism it went for.

RareAcumen posted:I'm a fairweather Fire Emblem fan that couldn't tell you what any game is without the subtitle so iust be missing something. So, what're the other games with the supremely bad stories that'll get you beaten up or ridiculed by passerbys that people seem paranoid about? the one with the plot that people really really hate is just fates but there's no real sign that engage is going to be anything like that. three houses had a lot more depth and complexity to its plot than usual for fe (despite some of its issues) so people are just understandably disappointed that engage isn't continuing on from that.

three houses just had a lot of compelling threads through it even if the actual execution of the plot was fairly middling (occasionally good, often bad). it seemed to just crumble under the ambition of having four routes and put resources into all the wrong places regarding the plot.Natural 20 posted:I think a lot of people would have enjoyed a game of that same ambition but done even better rather than dialling things back because that scope is too hard.

Eimi posted:Going through those new leaks are surprising in a good way. In a way feels like how I felt about Pokemon SV, where the marketing was horrible and tipped me to not buying it, but then leaks came out and showed there is stuff I'd be into in the game afterall. what exactly was it that changed your mind out of curiosity? given everything else i'm not very surprised that the map design seems pretty good & interesting and that's about the main detail that's coming through from these leaks

Eimi posted:Some story details and how they play into gameplay. You lose Divine Pulse and your engages in ch10. That's a ballsy decision if nothing else. As well some story details, but they pushed on and revealed they are going the boring route with them, Veyle is evil but shocker she's being controlled. ah yeah losing the time crystal is an impressive move. from what the leaker said veyle has a split personality or something? which is still boring but it's probably going to parallel alear

Sydin posted:I mean they could have just as easily lied in the translation and said everybody was 18+ like a sheepishly translated VN or something. It's not like this is a sexually explicit game or anything, some G-rated but explicitly romantic language seems like the easiest possible bone to throw to a fanbase even an absolutely dense entity like NoA has to be aware is pretty into the shipping aspect of the games. jean/anna/hortensia are like 10/11/14 so it makes sense there. it's just rosado where it's inexplicable because he's 17 and a whole lot of the cast is 17 including alear

it makes more sense when the player character is a more direct self-insert but they've pretty much removed most stuff there now, no character customisation, not a silent protag, etc. and yeah the translation should have certainly handled it in a less awkward way here but idk what would have been a good choice exactly. 'professor' was fine in three houses because that's very natural in english but 'divine one' gets goofy very quickly if it's said too much. probably just 'my lord' would have been decent in a lot of cases idk

i'm glad the characters seem to be decent enough for the most part even if they're not as good as three houses. combined with how positive everyone is about the tactics it should be one of the stronger games in the series overall reviewers complaining about the social elements being removed from three houses is weird, because like, all that seems to actually have been removed there is the calendar/teaching stuff which added pretty much nothing in an attempt to imitate persona, & then tea time i guess? like i like the social stuff in fe but it's not like there was any depth to any of the stuff they removed, the only thing that seems disappointing is the characters not commenting on the plot developments at the hub between chapters like they did in three houses. the relatively light world-building & general tone seems to be a much bigger change

afaik the effect is that the displayed hit rate is accurate for 50 and below, but for displayed hit rates of >50 the actual hit rate is higher than the displayed one so for anyone complaining about getting too many misses at high hit rates, it is in fact already rigged in your favour in those cases, apparently

GiantRockFromSpace posted:I'm wondering how many of the people complaining about Alear being constantly worshipped remember 3H, the game where you are a descentdant/reincarnation/avatar of God, every student fawns over you to the point most of them will betray their country to join your house, Edelgard and Rhea specifically are unhealthyly obsessed with you even not in their route and the only people not fawning over you are Seteth (initially), Hubert (already has Edelgard for that) and the mole people who are caricature villains. to be fair no one's really as silly about it in three houses as a lot of the early game cast of engage are i do get why people overestimate three houses' writing in their memories because the supports are very good for the most part, and the broad outline of the main plot is pretty good with lots of compelling parts. just the actual execution of that plot is where it's all a mess clearly suffering from a lack of resources, and not very much happens for large stretches, so it's easy to gloss over the stuff that doesn't work in your recollection.
